Hi! My name is Becca and I am 16 years old. I'm a Christian homeschooler with 4 brothers and 5 sisters. Hope you enjoy my blog! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:50:00 -0600 Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:50:00 -0600 Mike Huckabee came to Birmingham yesterday for a rally. The room they booked for the event had a capacity of about 300 people and around 2400 showed up! My whole family went early and was in the first 300 in the room. The rest of the people were taken to a much bigger room where they could hear the speeches.   Former presidential candidate Duncan Hunter introduced Alabama Governor Bob Riley, who introduced Mike Huckabee. Alabama State Senator Hank Erwin was also there. He is a committed Christian and has spoken to our church.   Huckabee gave a great speech that took about 30 minutes. He addressed all the issues that are most important to me and I love his ideas to fix the problems like immigration in this country.   We all had a great time and we're ready to go win Alabama for Huckabee! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/469081/ Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:50:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/469081/ About 8 weeks ago, our oven blew out. We haven't had a stove or oven since then... until now. We have been cooking in the microwave, kerosene cookstove, crockpot, griddle, rice cooker, roaster, and anything else we could find. Some families in our church loaned us some of those things. Anyway, the stove was under the extended warrenty from Lowes and they were going to get parts to try to fix it. Well, the parts were on back-order, and it turns out there weren't any in the country. So after they tried everything else, they finally approved a buyout of the range, which means they gave us a Lowes gift card for the amount we paid and we bought a new stove. Praise the Lord! We can bake again! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/462416/ Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:47:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/462416/ Caity gave me the blogging friend award.

We had a great time! We went with two Auburn fans and that made it interesting. WVU won easily, so we got to see a lot of the backups play. Go Mountaineers!   As you may have noticed, I am now supporting Mike Huckabee for President. I think it is very important that we elect a Godly man in 2008. I think Huckabee is the right man for the job.   ~Becca http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/440142/ Thu, 6 Dec 2007 18:26:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/440142/ Hi everybody!   I know I haven't posted much recently. Thanks for the comments anyway!   My older siblings are almost done with school for the semester, so they will be home more than a few hours a day. =D   Some of my siblings and I are going to see WVU's basketball team play Auburn. They are playing in Birmingham Wednesday. That will be fun!   My youngest sister is 7 months old! She is really getting big. She likes to put anything she can grab in her mouth, so we have to be careful what we leave near her.   I'll try to post more frequently. ~Becca   http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/438650/ Tue, 4 Dec 2007 13:14:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Becca14/438650/ MBF just gave me an award.
